What is Spread Free Trading?

With a minimum opening deposit of £200, you can access a Spread-Free account and in particular our selected Zero Spread Markets. The Spread Free account provides account holders access to selected Index and Forex markets, such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, UK100 & US30 all with zero spread on all opening and closing trades in line with our fair usage policy.

The Entry level account is our Spread Free Basic and is designed for passive traders who place a few trades a day and enables new traders to reduce the cost of trading.

For traders who are slightly more active, we offer a Bronze level account for a low monthly fixed fee. Giving traders the ability to place a greater amount of spread free trades and larger position limit.

How do you spread bet?

When you open a spread betting position on a market, you are given a ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ price either side of the underlying market price – this is known as the spread. If you think the market will rise, you open your spread bet at the ‘buy’ price. If you think it will fall, you open at the ‘sell’ price.

The Basic account is completely free and has no inactivity fees. The Bronze Spread Free account is charged at £10 per Calendar Month, which is deducted from the account up front. If you join within the month then the fee will be calculated on a pro-rata basis and deducted upfront.

This Account Type does not permit scalping i.e. opening and closing a position within 3 minutes (this includes all trades, buy/sell or sell/buy regardless of any trading strategy). Consequently we have the right to withhold this offer when we have reasonable belief that there has been co-operation, collusion or organisation of trades from the same source, or if we have reasonable belief that the offer is being abused in any way.

LOW COST SPREAD BETTING WITH SPREAD CO

Like all forms of investing you have to pay charges, that’s why it makes sense to trade with a company that offers competitive spread betting charges. There are four key charges you need to be aware of

Spreads – the difference between the bid and the offer price. Ours start at just 0.8 for spread bets on the UK100 and US30 Index on a standard account and zero spreads on Spread Free accounts.

Margins – the minimum cost of a spread bet has margins from 5% in Indices and 3.33% on major Forex Markets

Overnight Financing – when you hold a spread bet trade overnight, we don’t charge any financing fees/overnight fees for short index positions, and our charges for long positions are only 3 Month LIBOR +2%.

Additional Spreads on Equities – typically an additional spread is wrapped around the market spread for equities, these can be as high as 0.10% per Trade. Our wrap is as low as 0.10% for FTSE 100 equities so 0.05% per trade. This is one of the lowest commission rates in the industry
